Sloane Bennett stood by her husband Ryan through his darkest hockey days—designing his training, managing his image, even using her family trust to save the Harbor Kings from bankruptcy. Then, during the National Cup championship broadcast, Ryan publicly announces the end of their marriage while wrapped around Chloe, a sponsor’s daughter. The next day, he walks into the boardroom with his mistress, ready to take control. But Sloane is already in the chairman’s seat. She revokes his management authority and reveals she is the true owner, holding 51% voting rights. Her first decision: sign Declan Cross, Ryan’s greatest rival. Five years earlier, Declan and Sloane shared a kiss that never led anywhere. Declan knows why he really returned—not revenge, but her. As they rebuild the team, they uncover a deadly secret: Ryan’s father and Chloe’s family have been supplying players with banned drugs, falsifying injury reports, and exploiting medical data to manipulate underground betting. Ryan knew all along. Now Sloane must gather evidence, protect the players, and decide whether she can trust in love again.
